Gragas vs Yasuo

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Gragas aims to control a medium-pressure lane by using short trades and sustain to deny Yasuo a free scaling lane.
Focus on disrupting Yasuo's mobility and wave-based space control with well-timed (E) stuns and (Q) slows.
This is a control versus snowball matchup where Gragas must prevent Yasuo from leveraging his high mobility and knockup combos.

Trading pattern

Initiate short burst trades by slowing Yasuo with (Q), empowering damage with (W), then stunning with (E) to capitalize on your passive sustain.
Punish Yasuo immediately after he uses (E) to dash, as missing (E) costs him mobility and escape.
Use (R) to disengage or isolate Yasuo when he commits, preventing his knockup follow-ups and all-in attempts.

Danger windows

Respect Yasuo's level 2 combo when he gains (Q) and (E) for quick trades and dashes; avoid giving him clean engage spacing.
Be cautious when (W) is available, as it blocks many of your projectiles and limits your trading options.
Avoid committing when your (E) is on cooldown, as you lose both engage and escape tools against Yasuo's high mobility.

Early game

Use level 3 power spike to perform full short trade rotations with (Q), (W), and (E) while maintaining passive healing.
Hold (E) to interrupt Yasuo's dashes through minions and punish his reliance on minion waves for mobility.
Avoid extended fights before level 6 when Yasuo's combo is strongest and your (R) disengage is unavailable.

Power spikes

At level 3, use your full kit to trade effectively and punish Yasuo's early mobility reliance.
At level 6, leverage (R) to displace Yasuo, breaking his engage or isolating him for kills; respect his ultimate availability.
After your first AP or tank item, increase trade pressure by balancing burst damage and durability to outlast Yasuo's skirmishes.

Win conditions

Win lane by controlling short trades with your passive and (W), punishing Yasuo's overextensions with (E) stuns.
Use (R) strategically to disengage Yasuo's all-ins or isolate him for kills, denying his knockup follow-ups.
Maintain lane control to prevent Yasuo from using minion waves for mobility, disrupting his snowball potential and enabling your teamfight impact.
